Great place. Service it’s really good. I tried the lasagnas. Although wasn’t cooked at that time it was delicious. I’d be definitely back.

Fantastic food. Excellent value and extremely generous portions. The best food we have had in Florence. Thank you. We had the pesto lasagne (particularly fantastic) and mixed grilled vegetables with bruschetta. Both excellent. Followed by tiramisu. So good we came back on another evening.

A must visit spot in Florence, their coffee is so genuine and these people of a family business are phenomenal, professional, quick and attentive. Prices are very reasonable and way cheaper than those in the market. I came back this year to visit Florence and headed right away to them for my coffee. Love this place.

A fantastic find near the Pitti Palace! To be honest, we were a bit hesitant at first because the place looks very simple from the outside, but it turned out to be a great choice. We originally stopped here just to hide from the rain, but we liked it so much that we came back the very next day. ​The tiramisu and cappuccino were delicious and very well-priced. On our second visit, we tried the warm sandwiches—the portions were huge and clearly made with care (we even had to take some to go!). It’s also great that they have vegetarian options available. ​The owners were exceptionally kind and welcoming. It was so lovely that the owner remembered us on our second visit and thanked us for coming back! A truly honest and friendly place for a good meal. Thank you! (The couple that visited twice 😊)

Ate here twice for lunch, Lasagna Ragu both times. Place is continuously busy and we luckily got the window seat both days. Staff of two are friendly and very efficient.

Amazing food and excellent service. Drinks, lasagna, focaccia and great prices. I wish I could have had more from here before leaving Florence. The best find in Italy yet. All the low reviews are because of long wait times but it only shows how fantastic their food is. If you aren’t likely to throw a tantrum because people managed to order food before you I would highly recommend you visit.

Fantastic little find. We have been eating in small bars all o we Italy and so far this one is the best. Sandwiches are made fresh, option for bread. Atmosphere is great little cafe feel. Our son loved the lasagna!!

Genuinely my favorite place that I ate in Florence during my trip. We went here 4 times in a week. Before our visit to Pitti Express, we saw other reviews that said they went here multiple times. I felt skeptical. However, the same happened to us. We would attempt to have lunch elsewhere (i.e: Central Market or Gustapizza) and my boyfriend and I would look at each other said say “it’s good, but it’s not Pitti Express”. Pitti Express became the barometer during our trip of how good a meal should be. Anyway, we loved it and we are quite obsessed. Everything is delicious. We had both lasagnas (ragu and pesto) on different occasions. We had the Pitti Express shachihata and also the inferno on the rustica. Such fresh and crispy bread and the filling was to die for. The tiramisu was the best I ever had in my life. We always got an espresso and an aperol spiritz. So refreshing. Highly, highly recommend. Very nice staff and a nice place to sit down and people watch. I would recommend even if this is out of the way, but if you’re going to the gardens, it’s a no-brainer.

The vegetarian sandwich was great. The owner was so nice and general nice vibe. And to be honest, best coffee in Florence. I tried so many even expensive coffee there, but this one was the best and he didn’t try to scam us like others with 3 different prices for their coffees! Pesto lasagna was good but not the best!

Small place a bit out of the main city but walkable distance, no matter how far you are this place is a must while you are in Florence. We had lasagna- pesto and with meat, both of them were extremely tasty, soft and very delicious. The best lasagna we have ever had. Tiramisu was also good and we had an amazing vine. Everything greatly priced. Service was fast and very kind. Must visit!
